Women Ordered To Love

... And we are back in business! After a 3 month hiatus the "Marisa Mell Blog" is back! Thanks to everyone who inquered about the future of the blog! It is highly appreaciated! So rest assured the blog is still up and running! So back to the order of the day: Honoring the life and work of Marisa Mell!

On October 23rd 2012 one of the lesser known Marisa Mell movies from 1961 will be officially released on the DVD market. The German movie title is "Lebensborn" better known under its English title "Ordered To Love" or now retitled as "Women Ordered to Love." This movie was in recent years already available first on the VHS-R and later on the DVD-R market. I belief that it is only the bare movie without any extras. The movie is now available on Amazon for only 9.95 USD.

The Marisa Mell Blog did an extensive entry on this movie in 2008. You can read all about this movie, the rise of the notorious Nazisploitation with its best known representant "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS" during the 70's of the previous century! Here is the link: Nazisploitation

Thanks to Jochen from Graz, Austria for pointing this one out! Jochen has one hell of a site dedicated to everything you ever wanted to know about Italian and European movies from the 60's, 70's and early 80's. You can visit him here: Deliria Italiano

because we are always on the look out for new material, especially her "lost" movies like: La Tempesta, Einen Mann im schönsten Alter... Thanks!

Marisa Mell (born as Marlies Theres Moitzi on February 24th 1939 and died on May 16th 1992)

Welcome to the "Marisa Mell"-blog honoring the life and work of the Austrian born actress. She was part of an era in the 60's and 70's where actors and actresses in Europe belonged to a select group of people who lived the fast life by being part of the Jet Set while living, loving, partying and working in places like Rome, Paris, London and Monaco. Those days are long gone mostly due to the collapse of European cinema with Cinecitta as prime example. In those days everybody knew everybody in the field, during the day they worked together and during the night they socialized. It was an amazing time with fond memories witnesses tell you. Unfortunately not every story of that time ends in an happy end! The life of Marisa Mell is such a tragic story. This blog wants to keep her memory alive for the next generation of film fans of European cinema old style.
